Thought I'd finally left our past behind
Lost the dreams that made me lose my mind.
Clean from the drug that took over my life.
Came to terms with a final goodbye.

The world you gifted me was never real
Even if it gave me the greatest joy I'd ever feel.
I came down to earth in the hardest lesson of all
But I survived the landing after suffering the fall.

Time was the medicine that helped me move on
Losing you shattered me but made me strong.
When my heart began beating for another friend
I thought, finally, our story has reached its end.

But then you appear in my life out of the blue.
Making me smile in the way only you can do.
Taking me back to my happiest days.
But this time I know these dreams can't stay.

Before you left again, you said "I love you."
Though I don't know whether or not that's true.
When I said it back, my cheeks flamed with blood.
Wonder if I'd ever stopped--if I ever could.
